By Own Correspondent| Human rights lawyer Douglas Coltart has expressed shock over the arrest of leaders of the Amalgamated Rural Teachers’ Union Of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) on Tuesday describing the President Emmerson Mnangagwa led regime as “unbelievable”.
ARTUZ leaders were arrested for the second time within a week after nine Union leaders were arrested by the police in Macheke on Saturday for criminal nuisance before being released without a charge after the State found no basis for prosecuting them.
Said Coltart:
“This regime is unbelievable! ARTUZ teachers have been arrested again on their #MarchToHarare! On Monday, the State admitted the charges were baseless and dropped after they’d been arrested by Macheke police on Saturday. Now they’ve been arrested again by Ruwa police.”
